Birthday Tea


Sunday 6th March. A birthday afternoon tea. Cucumber sandwiches, cut into fingers, no crust. Egg and cress too. Scones, clotted cream, damson jam, strawberry jam, made with fruit from the garden last summer. Chocolate cupcakes, lemon drizzle, blondies made by a WI friend. Birthday cake, made and iced by Mum, sponge, buttercream, jam, thick white icing, nostalgia on a plate.

Tea, lots of it.

    Was it recently your birthday, Becky? Happy Birthday! Mine is in a few weeks and that is just exactly the sort of celebration I want to have. It looks perfect. Especially the scones with clotted cream and jam- mmmmm!

    This is a most elegant looking tea, and the treats look delicious. Lovely photos, a delight on a grey foggy day. This has inspired me to bake some scones this afternoon.
